Why is this an either/or choice? Being both seems a natural. I guess A is just a minor form of B.
I can see I am over matched in this discussion so I bow to your superior intelligence. You spell and choose words well, too. So now we through the baby out with the bathwater? Wouldn't you prefer "threw"? Of cause, since they championed the idea... How about "Of course"?
"There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time"
Had I known you were talking about jilted women and ex-wives I would have agreed. They can be killers.
As much as I would like to do my strutting victory dance at this admission of the obvious superiority of my argument, I cannot. I do not have the heart for it. I am too disappointed by a fellow conservative backing away from a discussion because he was outmatched by his opponents intellect. Abandoning the discussion because your opponent is far smarter than you is like a soldier fleeing from a superior force. Given your tactics, no one would have stepped across Colonel Travis's line in the sand. Men have overcome far worse handicaps than a substandard IQ before, you owe it to them to try and overcome your little mental handicap and help your country be the best it can be.
